On April 8, 1982, Dan Shechtman conducted an electron diffraction experiment on aluminum/manganese alloy. The pattern showed tenfold symmetry although the rules of crystallography excluded such in extended structures. Alan L. Mackay had anticipated structures, which fit his view generalized crystallography. persisted claiming to have observed quasiperiodic structures despite denial even by Linu...
